In the 25th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a five-wicket win against Kings XI Punjab at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad.
After winning the toss, Kings XI chose to bat first, aiming to put enough runs on the board to give their opponents a run for their money.
However, their plans hit rock bottom when with only 15 runs on the board they lost their first wicket on the dismissal of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mandeep-Singh-c74122 for ten.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dawid-Malan-c1344 Gilchrist and PC Valthaty then blasted the bowlers a few times as they smacked some fine knocks all around the park.
However, this partnership played its last with 47 runs on the board when skipper Gilchrist was dismissed with 26 runs on the board.
A run later, the batting side lost PC Valthaty, who found his way back to the pavilion after scoring six runs.
With the top order back in the pavilion, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380 and PP Chawla initiated a rebuild phase as they carefully tackled the bowlers. The two batsmen slowly, but steadily led their side towards 88 runs, but just when it was time for them to launch, the partnership was broken on the run out of PP Chawla, who hit the showers after scoring 23 runs.
It was then time for Hussey to walk off the field when he was dismissed for 22. The batsman left his side lingering on 104 runs.
With Gurkeerat Singh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 still had a chance, but were left high and dry as they suffered the loss of another wicket when Mahmood perished after scoring only four runs. The side then struggled to put 123 runs on the board.
With a meagre score to defend, it was important for Punjab to give a staggering bowling performance which they initially did as on the fourth delivery of the opening over Kumar clean bowled Q de Kock with nothing on the board. However, GH Vihari’s staggering knock of 46 runs was enough to wreak havoc on Punjab as Sunrisers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 reached the target in 18.5 overs for the loss of five wickets.
